"I worked with Ken for seven years, collaborating with him on marketing handouts he developed for his sales staff and on company newsletters for clients. He always was on top of trends in the industry and workplace issues and was in touch with the needs of the sales staff needs both for temporary and permanent placements. His feedback to me was always about what the sales team needed and what the company needed in terms of promotion, which seems to me an essential ingredient to be successful in marketing."

"I've worked with Ken for over 8 years. Ken is one of the few Marketing Executives that I have met that has a GREAT handle on the ROI of every marketing and advertising campaign. When evaluating any marketing campaign, Ken did his homework, to understand ROI of the proposal and how that ROI would compare to other marketing options. Ken used a lot of Guerrilla Marketing techniques to market, advertise and track his campaigns, which for many vendors is pretty scary, unless you know what you can provide, and what the results are going to be. As a vendor, Ken's requirements were upfront. He'll let you know what he is expecting from a campaign, because he does the homework that most don't want to do. If you are looking for someone who can come in, put a marketing plan in place, maintain that campaign with a system, including tracking the ROI, Ken is the one you should talk to. If you are selling to Ken, be prepared! Because he will be."

"I have had the privilege of knowing Ken Kuck for more than 12 years. I came to know Ken as the Director, then Vice President of Marketing for Abbott Resource Group, Inc., while serving as its Chairman & CEO. Throughout Ken's valued service with ARG he continually made significant contributions to the creation and successful implementation of ARG's many innovative marketing and direct sales programs. During that period I had the opportunity to work directly with Ken in the creation, development, and execution of the programs that helped ARG achieve dramatic growth in all of its subsidiaries and divisions. In my 40 years as a CEO of more than a dozen public and private companies I can testify that while top marketing executives are themselves quite rare, Ken's combination of creative vision, effective execution, and results focused demand for revenue generation is most unusual indeed. It is a combination of marketing and sales capabilities every CEO dreams of having to drive in his or her organization's success."

"I've known Ken for over 10 years and recommend him highly. He is a smart, hard working, creative and resourceful marketing director / VP. He's a definite left brain / right brain guy. On one hand he'll be analyzing marketing and sales data with a high level of detail and strategic thinking, and on the other hand he completely understands the creative side of advertising and promotion while directing branding and direct response campaigns. Ken is very knowledgeable and experienced in all aspects of marketing, is resourceful in stretching budgets and getting results, is a great people person and excellent to work with."

"As Founder / President of Abbott HR, Inc.; a division of Abbott Resource Group, Ken was solely responsible for creating, developing and implementing muliple levels of marketing programs that made Abbott HR an industry leader in Southern California. He had the capacity to satisfy the specific marketing needs of multiple company presidents within the Abbott group of companies and the business sense to convey a common message that supported us all. Without any hesitation I would use him again and recommend him to others."
